As the programme has expanded and done what it needs to do, perhaps this has created more hierarchy, left less room for innovation and change in your role and removed you from the opportunity for wide and far-reaching engagement with lots of different people across all parts of the social and environmental value chain.SailGP is offering you an opportunity to press the reset button and deliver a new kind of sustainability strategy; new, because the sport itself is new and aims to engage an entirely new generation of socially and environmentally conscious fans and make an impact in everything they do.

However SailGP is a seasonal, global event; workload can be highly irregular leading up to events, meaning you'll be required to be available across multiple time zones and sometimes contribute outside of a typical 9-5 schedule. Whilst working from home is the primary work location, the role will be eventually be required to frequent SailGP's London office on a regular basis, so please only express interest if you can make this schedule work & have the right to work in the UK.In return, you will gain;A support system including leaders with extensive experience integrating sustainability and purpose into every aspect of an organisations DNA; with hands-on, factual, science-based sustainability subject matter knowledge and with clear goals to understand and support the mental wellbeing of its workforce going into 2020/21Autonomy, trust and empowerment to deliver your operational sustainability strategyA fast-paced, autonomous, start-up-esque working culture with a flat, collaborative structure; instrumental to achieving rapid decision making that accelerates progress on time-sensitive issues such as global warming and biodiversityColleagues working towards shared values and outcomes committed to paper by the very people running the business; that prioritise people and planet to achieve profitThe opportunity to work in the only sector that truly enables the world to come together at the edge of a stadium, regardless of differences and enjoy something that transverses human barriersIf you have read this and didn't realise this was what you were looking for in 2021 and you haven't looked at your CV for ages, but you feel compelled to find out more, please do contact me at marie.cloherty@acre.com and we can discuss further.
